Water Tower does not work
Hi,

I'm just trying to get into the system behind the water tower. A big water pump is connected to the water tower's In port so that the tower gets filled. If I connect a big hose from the output directly to the Glacier Creek I just have this grey/white water icon. So I tried to use a second pump between the wash plant and the tower but I only get red icons because the water pump is not powerful enough to fuel the wash plant.

So what's wrong?

Well, I tried to turn the red valve at least 50 times :)

River Town might be bugged, I dunno. I'll test the open beta branch.

You cant run glacier creek from a water tower. You need to do a search, I cant remember the fix. I think you also need a water trailer. I shut that system off for now.

So its bugges or what is the problem there? The water tower can deliver 106 gpm while the wash plant just needs 63 gpm.

?? Really? I just checked my Tier 5 setup and it works just fine. My Glacier Creek is direct connected to water tower.

My bad, its the pump that cant keep up.

Well, the water tower seems to be not working at River Town. I don't know why but this might be a bug.

Umm... I can check and see if it work at River.

Update: I installed Glacier Creek on River parcel and linked straight from water tower and it worked just fine.

I'm not sure why you're having issue. But wanted to see if you disconnect all hoses and only connect from water tower directly to your Glacier Creek and see if it works.

I just tested the open beta branch and there it worked.
Tested every single solution to fix that problem with the current live version but it doesn't work.

Tried different pumps to pour water into the tower.
Just connected the wash plant to the water tower without anything else.
Swapped hoses.

Since you said it worked in beta environment, but not in live. Maybe the file is corrupted.

If you have discord, maybe you can get developer attention about that and they may have answer to your problem?

I tried to reinstall the whole game but the problem still exists.
Something is bugged because even though there are hoses connected the pressure system still says that you have 0 ft. of hoses connected. I think that's the problem. But even if you disable the pressure system I don't get any water out of the water tower.

The large pumps can't feed Glacier Creek, you need to have it connected to the water tower.

Just to correct some comments that had it backwards in here

the problem is that the water tower does not work properly. There is no way to get water out of it. I switched back to the T3 shaker and I'll wait until the current open beta branch goes live. With that build the water tower works fine.
